Fails WP:BIO, I don't think the depth of the coverage isn't substantial enough to warrant notability. Afro (DontTazeMeBro) - Afkatk 17:32, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep WP:ATHLETE states that a person is considered sufficiently notable if he or she has competed at the fuly professional level of his or her sport. Kane has obviously done this, as ECW was a major wrestling promotion. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:Athlete shouldn't apply as this more falls down the road of Entertainment rather than sports. Afro (DontTazeMeBro) - Afkatk 23:04, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, you are wrong. GaryColemanFan (talk) 23:44, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Pages like Shane Hagadorn have been deleted numerous times since 2006 and he's been associated with ROH since 06 and thats considered along the same level of ECW and it still doesn't support notability, I don't see why someone with such a short stint in ECW is more notable than Hagadorn. Afro (DontTazeMeBro) - Afkatk 01:59, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Countless articles about people with similar (or smaller) claims to notability have also been kept numerous times since 2006. What's your point? GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:54, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- ROH and ECW on the same level? Do you really wanna run with that arguement? --Endlessdan and his problem 13:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – I see an article on Kane here [1]; it's currently listed under Further reading, but looks usable as a reference to me. So there is at least some coverage of him, though I'd feel better about keeping this if there was another reliable source to go with this one.

- Keep - ridiculous nom. There are independent sources. Deleting his article won't help the project. --Endlessdan and his problem 13:00, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Definitely a notable wrestler should be kept.--Curtis23's Usalions 18:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
